Great book out for a while; The Reason Driven Life.  Does a great job of refuting every goofy notion the whackjob Warren put in his mush for the masses.  It is a well written, funny read with plenty of data to support the author's parity.  Obama should be ashamed, still, for having invited the moron to speak at the inaugural.  Of course, perhaps like most politicians, you want the electorate as dumb as sheep.

I'm sure you meant parody but it's pretty funny this way as well. :razz:
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Actually, I meant parity, but either one is good...;>)  I think Price achieves parity with Warren on the truth of the matter while doing the parody of Warren's dribble.
